Chapter 294: Chapter 242: Stone Milk (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_2

Song Ningjing arrived at the center of the Earth Cave and saw a cyan stalactite.

It radiated multicolored brilliance, thick and large, located in the middle of the cave, resembling a king.

However, around this cyan stalactite, there was a layer of semi-transparent prohibition.

It looked like a thick layer of solid ice, with a thickness of two to three meters, completely sealing the surroundings.

"Indeed, it’s the Crystal Divine Light Prohibition... To be able to condense Divine Light into crystals, even if a Nascent Soul expert were to act, it could probably hold up for a long time..."

Meng Xingtong muttered as she looked at the layer of prohibition.

"Have you tried Flying and Earth Tunneling?" Madame Di Rui muttered and then laughed bitterly, "The prohibition of the ancient cultivators, there couldn’t be such a flaw... If it were so simple, this ’Ten-thousand-year-old Stone Milk’ would have been taken away a long time ago."

"Song Daoist Friend, it’s all on you now."

Fang Xing decided to use his technical skills first, and if the solution was too slow, he would resort to brute force.

"Please protect me, fellow daoists."

Song Ningjing sat cross-legged, the Autumn Water Sword rested on her knees, her hands forming seals as she chanted strange spells.

In front of her, an illusion of a mirror appeared.

The mirror was only gray, yet a beam of light shot out from it, falling onto the Crystal Divine Light Prohibition.

Strangely enough, the Divine Light, which could withstand the majority of attacks in the Cultivation World, retreated under the beam from the mirror, the light striking the crystalline body of the prohibition.

The numerous Divine Light crystals immediately melted like spring snow upon exposure to the sun, at a slow yet resolute pace...

Fang Xing scanned with his Divine Sense and made a silent calculation, ’This solving speed is a bit faster than my brute force... Indeed, specialization has its expertise; or rather... isn’t it just that the Cultivation World is filled with numerous strange skills, particularly adept at overcoming strength with subtlety?’

"Huh?"

His Divine Sense suddenly swept in another direction, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "It seems cultivators are approaching..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the Meng sisters immediately conjured a layer of Star Gauze, sheltering the five within, while Madame Di Rui’s face held a smile, yet a giant axe appeared in her hand.

The lady’s magic treasure seemed somewhat incompatible with her stature, Fang Xing was taken aback when he first saw it.

As the three women revealed their magic treasures, from the other end of the cave, a sneaky-looking yellow-skinned rat suddenly burrowed out of the ground.

"Ha ha, just as well we went broke and promoted you, ’Treasure Seeking Rat,’ to Third Rank before coming to this blessed land... Sure enough, we immediately found a great treasure."

With a rugged laugh, three figures emerged successively from the tunnel, also startled to see Fang Xing and the others.

"Demon Path cultivators!"

The Meng sisters, seeing the marks on the trio, immediately turned pale.

These three Jiedan Cultivators were all in their Middle Stage, clad in colorful magic robes adorned with five-poison symbols, obviously from the notorious Demon Path sect—Myriad Gu Village!

Cultivators of Myriad Gu Village were famous for their use of poisons and managing various toxic insects and Gu, their reputation formidable even among those of the Demon Path.

"Oh? There are even four girls!"

The leading senior, after scanning with his Divine Sense and seeing Song Ningjing, showed a hint of joy on his face, "And there’s one breaking the ban, ha ha... kill that man, capture the women alive."

"Cough, cough!"

Fang Xing coughed, "Although it’s common for cultivators of the Demon Path to lose their minds... I, for one, am a Cultivator in the Late Stage of Golden Core."

"Golden Core Late Stage, so what?" the initially speaking leader fiercely shouted, "Number Two, Number Three!"

Number Two and Number Three immediately placed their arms on the senior’s shoulders, boosting his Mana dramatically, swiftly breaking through to the Golden Core Late Stage.

"It’s the ’Three Fiends of Hua Family’ from Myriad Gu Village!"

Madame Di Rui seemed to recall something, "These three, together, have records of killing cultivators in the Golden Core Late Stage..."

"Recognizing your Grandpa Hua now is already too late... The young ladies are quite attractive."

The leader of the Hua family grinned viciously, waving his hand as a pitch-black giant cauldron appeared, the vivid cloud patterns on it clearly marking it as a formidable magic treasure.

At the same time, the Treasure Seeking Rat let out a strange cry, forming thick yellow earth spikes, falling like a rain of flowers.

"It appears that, Song Daoist Friend, you need not make a move, leave everything to me."

Fang Xing casually waved his hand, producing a shimmering light screen.

Both the giant cauldron and earth spikes were blocked from passing through the screen.

He turned around, flicked his finger.

A sword qi emerged, severing a bizarre two-tailed centipede at the waist.

The centipede, initially reaching behind them to attack, now could only lay on the ground, lifeless.

"What magic treasure, spiritual pet... are merely diversions to distract, your real trump card... must be this Third Rank Top Grade Gu insect, right?"

"It seems the arrogance at the beginning was intentional... The acting is a bit too deliberate, needs more practice."

He, with hands clasped behind his back, said with a smile.

"Boss, this is tricky..." The second eldest of the Hua Family immediately called back the treasure-seeking rat, had its demon body swell up, and blocked in front of the three brothers, his face extremely solemn.

Using their combined attack technique, at most they could fight a late-stage Jiedan cultivator without defeat.

Their real trump card was the ’Twin-tail Golden Devouring Centipede.’ This Gu insect was their ace, and it had even secretly killed a late-stage Jiedan cultivator.

This Gu insect excelled in hiding its tracks, generally undetectable by the Divine Sense of late-stage Jiedan cultivators, and more importantly, it specialized in biting through various Protective Magic Covers.

Its poison was even more fierce, making it difficult for even a third-rank body cultivator to resist.

Yet, unexpectedly, this trump card had been slashed with a single sword stroke!

"Of course I know it’s tricky, no, this isn’t just tricky, it’s brain-pricking..."

"Even the Gu Shenzi of our sect might not be able to kill the Twin-tail Golden Devouring Centipede in one strike."

The eldest of the Hua Family had his forehead covered in cold sweat and suddenly laughed heartily, "Since this place has already been taken, it’s not good for us to covet what others desire, let’s go!"

He waved his hand, intending to leave.

But in the next moment, a sword light slashed through.

The sword light was incredibly fast, the rank three demon body of the treasure-seeking rat was simply unable to block it at all, instantly tearing a huge hole through it.

Behind the large hole, the protective light cover of the eldest Hua instantly shattered, revealing a spot of blood on his forehead.

"Eldest brother!"

The second and third Hua brothers exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with ruthless determination to fight back, but their bodies honestly retreated, even forgetting about their spiritual pets.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Fang Xing sighed, took a step forward, shrinking the ground beneath his feet, bypassing the treasure-seeking rat, and entered into the cave.

In just a few breaths, he emerged from the Earth Cave, holding the second eldest Hua in his hand.

Seeing this scene, the Meng sisters and Madame Die Rui were momentarily stunned.

Are these really the three ferocious brothers of the Hua Family?

They seem even weaker than three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Are you really the man from above?"

Madame Die Rui looked incredulous.

"Whether I am or not, shouldn’t you know best?"

Fang Xing gave a wry smile and casually explained, "Not to hide it... the core I initially condensed was an Immortal Golden Core!"

Upon hearing this, the Meng sisters immediately believed him.

Only a late-stage Golden Core great cultivator could effortlessly defeat three middle-stage Jiedan cultivators!

"This second eldest of the Hua Family?"

Meng Xingyu looked at Fang Xing, suddenly thinking of something.

"Indeed, this rank three treasure-seeking rat is quite rare, and it can be very useful in this blessed land."

Fang Xing placed his hand on the forehead of the second eldest Hua and began a Soul Search.

Traditionally, to control a spiritual pet, one would either craft a ’Pet Beast Life Plate.’ With the life plate in hand, one can torment the spiritual pet into submission.

This method is more convenient, as taking control merely requires obtaining the life plate.

The second method involves signing a Blood Contract which is more troublesome; typically, if the cultivator dies, the spiritual pet must also be buried with them, with no leeway for argument!

After searching the soul, Fang Xing found that the second eldest Hua had used a life plate. He immediately struck down with his palm, killing the second eldest Hua, then took his storage bag and obtained a yellowish token.

Inside the token was an incredibly lifelike shadow of a yellow-haired rat.

"Alright, I know you’re not dead, now with the life plate in my hands, you must obey my commands, got it?"

He moved his mana, immediately refining the life plate of the treasure-seeking rat, and shouted at the lying rat.

The treasure-seeking rat instantly flipped over, stood up disregarding the bleeding hole on its body, and repeatedly raised its paws as if bringing its hands together, its small eyes full of ingratiating expression.

"Sister, this treasure-seeking rat really has no spine..."

Meng Xingyu sounded a bit sour; after all, this was a third-rank Great Demon, which, if it became a guardian spiritual beast, could suppress the Qi of a Jiedan family for hundreds of years.

A spirit pet controlled by a life plate is prone to inconsistency...

Meng Xingtong nodded, then looked at the obsequious treasure-seeking rat, somewhat speechless: "However, inside this blessed land, it truly is a great asset."
